The first football game in the series laid out for the season by the' OAC Athletic Association wail ' played on the local field. Saturday between the OAC team of this year and the famous cham pion OAC team of '97. The game was hotly contested from start to finish and it was plainly evident that the the old boys had not forgotten how to play although they had been separated for seven years. They were both old and tricky and all things considered they played a remarkably good game. Of course, under the circumstances, it was too much to expect that the alumnal team should put up even a scoreless game, they soon be came sore and quickly lost inter est. The OAC team being sea soned veterans had a decided ad vantage but yet the score at the end of the game was the result of hard fighting. End runs were not used to any great extent, nearly the entire game consisting of line bucking, which kept both teams in a constant state of ex haustion. OAC lost the ball twice on fumbles and an offside play cost her a touchdown. The alumni came in for a fair share of errors but all things con sidered, errors on both sides were remarkably few. Individual playing was prominent through- out the game, indeed, had it not been for the work of individual players at two or three . critical points in the game, .the score very likely would have , been nothing for OAC. Those who distinguished themselves were Pilkington, Root and Williams for OAC; Gault, McBride, Thurs ton, Scroggins and Edwards for the alumni. he line-up was as follows: Gault's place as full back on alumnal team and 1 Hnddleson and others go in. Alumni get ball and kick off, ball down eaOAC's 45-yard line. OAC advances ball 10 yards, lose ball on tumble. Alumni buck bard twice with no gain, punt for ' gain 20 yards. Root ad vances ball 8 yards in a series of hard bucks, Pilkington forces ball forward 25 yards and OAC loses ball on downs. Alumni buck hard but lose on downs. OAC by hard fighting advance ball to within 3 yards of alumni's goal and lose on fumble. Alumni punts 20 yards. Both teams work hard, with OAC advancing steadily toward goal. Williams gets ball and makes right end run 18 yards, touch down, Pil kington kicks goal. Teams line up with several changes of men on alumnal team. 1 Teams stav near center of field until close of second half of game, score iio in favor of OAC. The famous old champions were exhausted and glad to quit. It was an honorable and glorious defeat and they would not have been satisfied had it been other wise. It was larcelv a matter of sentiment with most of the team. They were, with one exception all together again, and they talked over old times, had their pictures taken and almost forgot what they had come for. A ban quet in their honor was served in the Armory in the evening in which all took part and which will remain as one of the bright est spot in their lives. Far-East Fables. Cattle Values.

In the second half Steiwer sub stitutes Cooper on lett end," Little takes Bundv's place as right From a letter by Dr. Withy- combe, of the Agricultural Col lege published in last Friday's Oregonian, we make the follow in& excerpt o . . .. It is difficult to explain me nresent slump in cattle values. There are Derhaps fewer cattle in :- . ... proportion to our population to day than there have been tor tne past half century. Good cattle will certainly command high Drices in the near future: hence there is nothing in sight to even suggest panicky conditions. Stock feed of all classes will doubtless be high this winter, conseauentlv the farmers should eed with ludgment. remaps the greatest mistake made by owners of cattle is the withhold ing of supplementary feed unti late in the season. Calves and yearlings which are thin should receive a small ration ot hay or grain early in the winter so as to obviate extreme emaciation. The high price of mill feed will proba- blv have a discouraging eitect on -w " dairying, but good cows proper ly handled will alwavs make a good showing on the right side of the ledger. It is a good busi ness policy for dairymen to con sult the records ot their cows, and every matured cow in the herd which has not received good dairy care that cannot show a yield of 5000 pounds of milk and 200 pounds ot butter tat in ten months ought to be consigned to the shambles ot the butcher. This may prove to be a severe weeding-out , process, , but it is better to maintain a few good cows than a lot ot inferior ones. There can be no question of the sound sense which recognizes that a few good cows are of greater profit to the dairyman than a larger herd of inferior ani mals. A hunting party of Christian Nations being out In search of game, descried a Chinet Coolie sitting at rest under a Cinnamon Tree in the depths of the forest regaling himself upon a frugal lunch of Chop Suey, his well laden ''Baskets disposed in the path before him. "Jvet us," whispered the leao ing Christian Nation, "advance stealthily, fall upon this friend ess Chink, and Partition the contents of his Baskets among us." The proposal was received with enthusiasm, and the Grand March of Civilization toward the Coolie and his Baskets began. 'The stuff of this Heathen, who's a child of Satan, is already as good as Ours," murmured the Nations. "The fool hasn't learn ed to Pack a Gun." Suddenly from the woods be hind the Defenseless Coolie step ped a Jap carrying two Mauser Rifles. One he gave to the China man, and the other he retained, and both Mongolians Cocked their Weapons. The Nations, surprised and iustlv Indignant, hastily retreated On reaching a distant place ot safety they held a meeting, or ganized a Mutual Protective Association, named it "The Con cert of the Powers," adopted strong Resolutions warning Chris tendom that a New Terror had arisen, which threatened the beneficent progress of True Re ligion and the Best Civilization. This New Terror they described as the yeuxw peril, and be sought all good Christians to pray and Arm against it tor their protection. Moral: Nations as well as car porters may sometimes wake up the wrong passenger. Arthur McBwen in S. F. Examiner. ffpll "I LIl'S 1TSM F , V-' . ' " ' ' y.jk$ !

In comoanv with a local real estate dealer, the stranger was looking at a piece of land near the bam Moore residence, when something struck the barn above his head. It was a bullet from a 22 target rifle, with which some boys were practicing a short distance away. It penetrated an inch board and would have Killed the stranger, had it struck him in a vital spot. Bv a very careful calculation the direction from which the bullet came was ascertained and the nerrjetrator of the deed is known Neighbors say the reckless use of firearms has been going on ior some tfene and it must be stop ped or severe measures will be taken to suppress it. It is not one nerson in oarticnlar but several, and as public safety is at stake, it is necessary to do some thing before the practice goes too far.
